Nashville Kemet Jubilee Is No Longer Operational

The Nashville Kemet Jubilee is no longer operating as a separate chapter of the Kemet Jubilee. We are now just working with the primary Kemet Jubilee in Memphis to help preserve the history of the organization and promote the history of African American culture and heritage in Tennessee.
